Mr. Chair, I was able to attend the CMA annual general meeting several months ago shortly after I became the minister. In fact, one of the things it said to me was that many doctors were tired and were going to retire. We need more doctors. We need more international medical graduates, who are already here, to be integrated into the system. That is absolutely opposite to what the hon. member thinks.
